Red Mansions Circle of Friends

Yue Yan choked on Han Han's words, which were taken for granted, but also very righteous.He picked up the teacup on the table and took a big sip of tea regardless of his posture.

Sixi on the side saw a flash of complacency in his eyes.

The miscellaneous family knew that they would drink tea like this today, and made it warm on purpose, otherwise they would have burnt their bald skin by now.

But Sixi quietly looked at Xue Pan in front of him, maybe this person didn't know that the more he said that, the more his master would think about his precious sister.

Could this be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

Thinking of this possibility, Sixi hurriedly looked Xue Pan up and down calmly.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes.

He thinks too much.

After resigning from Yueyan's master and servant, Xue Pan wandered home with his hands behind his back.On the way back, Qia happened to meet Jia Yun who was kicked out by his uncle.So Xue Pan stopped holding his hands behind his back, and put his hands in front of him, with his left hand inserted into the cuff of his right hand and his right hand inserted into the cuff of his left hand.

What can a powerful uncle say to his poor nephew?

That's absolutely acrimonious to the point of being 'refreshing'.

Whose family's money is not blown by the wind, why do you want to make a fool of yourself?

Xue Pan nodded while watching the fun.Wow, that's a high level of speaking.Write it down, write it down, if the second wife goes to his house to borrow money, he will come to this paragraph.

Every time the second wife came to borrow money and things, but my mother didn't lend her, I felt very uncomfortable.Looking up at the sky, Xue Pan regretted that he couldn't ask his old lady to watch the excitement.

When Jia Yun blushed and fled away in embarrassment, she turned around and saw Xue Pan standing outside her uncle's shop. Looking at his appearance, she knew that she had watched a lot of excitement.

Thinking of this, I became even more embarrassed.

"Hello, Uncle Xue!" Jia Yun walked forward with a blushing face, and greeted Xue Pan with her hands in her sleeves.

"Well, Brother Yun came to your uncle's house for alms." Xue Pan glanced at Brother Yun and his uncle who was standing at the door of the shop and was looking this way, and said indifferently, "You dog looks down on people Uncle is not very interested, let's go and take you to my shop."

In Xue Pan's dream, Jia Yun is a very conscientious and righteous man.Although he didn't have much contact with him, he took good care of Baochai when Jia's family was in decline.Just because of this friendship, Xue Pan felt that he should do something at this time.

The uncle of the Xue family never played with Jia's son Lang. Although he looks good, he has a very rude temper and doesn't fit in with others.What they play on weekdays is not the same as them.

Although the whole family lives in Rongguo Mansion, they are not very proud of the Jia family.Being stingy, even the mother of the empress may not get any benefits.Today, she took the initiative to talk to herself, causing Jia Yun to panic.

Jia Yun deliberately refused, but turned her head to see the uncle who was staring at him, and her heart was overwhelmed, and the young man's desire to save face told him to follow Xue Pan away.

Xue Pan intended to go home, but he picked up Jia Yun on the way, but he was not in a hurry to go home, so he just took him to Xue's shop in the capital.

As for whether to borrow Jia Yun's money to let him curry favor with various officials so that he can find an errand in the mansion, or directly find a job for Jia Yun and let him fend for himself, it depends on Jia Yun's own choice.

However, Xue Pan made up his mind to give Jia Yun a Zhuangzi to repay his love for giving charcoal to Baochai in the snow.

Just outside the city, bring a few more acres of land.If you have a house and a field, you don't have to ask for winks anymore.

Xue Pan is a stingy person, and being able to repay Jia Yun like this is already an expression of generosity to the extreme.However, the more generous he is, the more frightened and overwhelmed Jia Yun is.

Why is this uncle Xue being so nice to him?

Considering that Xue Pan is not young, and he has never heard that he is attracted to any girl, could it be, could it be that Jia Yun touched her face, and felt that a certain thought in her heart was either indulging in Xue Pan or aimed at herself? Put gold on your face.

For no reason, what is he trying to do?

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Forget it, although I don't know why the uncle of the Xue family treats me so kindly, but he remembers this kindness and will repay it every day.

After helping Jia Yun casually, Xue Pan put the matter aside.Sitting in Aunt Xue's upper room, watching Aunt Xue holding Baochai's hand and talking about living in the garden.

When I arrived in the capital, I lived with my relatives, so I didn't dare to be as comfortable as when I was in my hometown.For Yu Baochai, being able to live in the garden where the imperial concubine once lived is also a matter of great excitement and anticipation.

Even at her age, she can't live long.

While peeling the oranges, Xue Pan asked the girls if all the places where they lived were tidied up.

Baochai only thought that Xue Pan was curious, so he asked casually, so he answered casually when he arrived.

"Everything is well tidied up. Miss Lin's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the most elegant and incomparably elegant. Third Miss's Qiushuangzhai also makes people feel so spacious that Miss Qiao's Ou Xiangxi Pavilion looks a little smaller."

Not only does it look smaller, it is already very small.

Compared with the nearby courtyard, there are only three bright rooms on the bright side and two side rooms on the back side. Besides, there are two small houses on the bank of the nine-curved corridor, and there is nothing else.

Needless to say, the three bright rooms are all Nan Sheng's territory.The two side rooms at the back, after tidying up, one can be used as a tea room for two big girls.The two houses on the bank are arranged for mothers-in-law, and the corridor entrance of the nine-curved corridor on the bank becomes Nansheng's "courtyard gate".

Even so, there is no place to live for so many nurses and maids under Nan Sheng's name.

When Nan Sheng first came to Rongguo Mansion, he would not have received too much courtesy.In addition, Daiyu brought the girl she used to at home when she was in Yangzhou, so the Rongguo Mansion did not arrange too many waiters for Daiyu.

Daiyu doesn't even need it, nor does Nansheng, who looks like a [-]-mile-long cousin.

But later, with the display of Nansheng's painting skills, Nansheng's treatment in Rongguo Mansion was slightly higher than that of Daiyu.Fortunately, Nan Sheng has been living in Jia's mother's backyard, so she is not very conspicuous on the surface.

It's just that after moving to the Grand View Garden, not to mention Jia's mother, even Mrs. Wang has to arrange for Nan Sheng to serve Nan Sheng according to the rules of the girls in the family.

Counting carefully, apart from Nan Sheng's unwanted nanny, the mansion has arranged for Nan Sheng a total of four foster nuns, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, and six errands for Nan Sheng. Little girl, two old mothers who guard the door.

Nan Sheng used to have Shi Shi and Xiang Lan, two first-class girls by his side, and now he arranged for two first-class girls to come over. A girl who needs to serve books and ink.

So in this way, the place where the girls live is a worrying thing.

This is also a practical problem that Nan Sheng didn't consider when choosing the garden.

Nan Sheng didn't want to change places, and had to arrange the residences of these people. The last idea he could think of was to build three more rooms next to the two houses on the shore.

Including the original two rooms, there are five rooms in total.One is used as the concierge and the maids wait for errands, and the remaining four are used as staff dormitories.

The nuns in Rongguo Mansion don't live with the girls, so there are only twelve girls and two women who want to live in the four dormitories.

Twelve maids occupy three rooms, two big maids occupy one room, and there are two canopy beds in the room.Four second-class maids sleep in one room, and four smaller arhat beds are placed in the room, and six younger girls sleep in one room, and Datong bunks are directly set up in the room.The remaining room was given to the two women.

Fortunately, the original Grand View Garden was only for visiting relatives in Yuanchun, and it was not suitable for living.This time the girls came to live in the garden, which needed to be remodeled and repaired.Therefore, Nansheng built three more houses here, which did not attract attention.

And because she secretly asked someone to pay the craftsman a piece of silver, the Ou Xiangxi Pavilion where she lived and Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion were the first to be completed and the places that best met her requirements.

In order to worry about walking on the Jiuqu corridor in winter, the snow on the corridor will fall to people, and in order to ensure that the Ouxiangxie where she lives can be heated smoothly, Nan Sheng directly and generously transformed the Jiuqu corridor from the shore to the Ouxiangxie. Also repaired the earth dragon.

Not only was the ground dragon repaired, but the floor of the corridor was made high in the middle and slightly curved on both sides.In this way, as long as it rains or snows, the rainwater flows directly to both sides into the lake, while the snow turns into water under the baking of the ground dragon in the corridor, and flows back into the lake, keeping the ground of the corridor dry.

Not only the corridor was remodeled in this way, but even the terrace around the Ouxiangxie house was also remodeled in this way.

The earth dragon-burning stove was built in the corner of the porter's house. The mother-in-law who came to see the door and the mothers and maids waiting for errands there could watch the stove without telling the fire to turn off. some hot water.A stove was also set up in the side room of a tea house in Ouxiangxie, which can also burn earth dragons, but due to the partition design, it can only drive the earth dragons in the three main rooms and two side rooms.

This is for rainy days in summer, when the lotus root and Xiangxie are colder than the shore, and when the earth dragon is not needed for heating on the shore, the stove of the teahouse can be used to warm the house.

Of course, in summer, when the stove at the concierge wants to boil water and eat, you can also use the broken dragon stone to separate the earth dragon in the room. ' up.

Some people have only one stove, which not only needs to heat water and rice, but also to heat the kang.But when the weather is warm, the kang is too hot to sleep, so a stone slab is placed between the stove and the kang.When the kang is not needed, the stone slab is put down, and when the kang is needed, the stone slab is stretched up.So this technology was not proposed by Nan Sheng, but it is something that every household in the northern areas where there is a kang knows.

On the outside, the renovation of Ou Xiangxie is not a big deal except for the three new houses, but the private project is relatively large, so Nan Sheng paid relatively more money in private.Money can turn ghosts around, so Nansheng's Ou Xiangxie was completed along with other courtyards.

Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the most enviable place in the entire Grand View Garden.

Nan Sheng asked people to piece together all the glass to make three large wavy glass pieces.

These small glass blocks are not painted, but frosted.

Originally, Nan Sheng wanted to give Daiyu a piece of 'night sky', but later thought that there might be people flying over the walls in this world, so she asked someone to make it a frosted model for safety.

Although craftsmen do not have the vision gained by modern people standing on the shoulders of giants, they are more ingenious because of poor science.

Nan Sheng was worried about the waterproof problem before, but the craftsmen used their wisdom to eliminate this problem very well.

The ancient tiles play the role of waterproofing by stacking. Here, the craftsmen also fully refer to the way of roof tiles to form the glass into a wave shape.

And the main thing they use to make glass is bamboo.Bamboo can last for seven or eight years after treatment, and it is safest to use it to join glass.

Between the glass and bamboo, the craftsmen first used gelatin to fix the shape, and then used oiled paper umbrella technology for waterproof treatment.After that, apply another layer of glue, and then apply another layer of waterproofing. After three or four times, the large glass tile will be successful.

Install three glass tiles in one bright and two dark rooms, and the frosted glass will send sunlight into the room without hesitation.After the sun came in, the whole room was warm and bright, instantly reducing the shady atmosphere of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Everyone was amazed and envious when they saw it, and Baoyu opened his mouth to ask for it.Nan Sheng smiled slightly, and pushed her hands upwards.

Don't say you want it, I still want it.

It's a pity that my sister and I don't have a piece of glass.

How about you stealing your sister Lin's tiles to decorate your own house?

I support you~
